Find your Surya Rashi
This calculator identifies the zodiac sign occupied by the Sun at your birth, using the Lahiri sidereal convention of the connected Kundli service. It displays the sign and longitude returned for your birth date, time and place.
Compare Sun, Moon and ascendant
These three labels refer to different features of the chart. The Sun sign is the Sun's placement; Janma Rashi is the Moon's placement; Lagna is the rising sign. They do not need to match. Use their separate tools with the same saved profile for a consistent comparison.
Why another Sun-sign calculator may differ
Many popular Sun-sign descriptions use a tropical zodiac. This page uses a sidereal zodiac, so the answer can differ without either page having used the same convention. Near a sign boundary, the exact time and timezone also deserve attention.
How to use this calculator
- Check the prefilled birth details or select your own saved family profile.
- Enter a known birth time and select the correct birthplace.
- Generate the report. When signed in, your profile and the result save to your account automatically.
